The Lost & Found Podcast with Amanda Powers

Episode 120: What does it mean to break a chain you were born into? In this deeply moving episode, Amanda Powers sits down with Tavarus Taylor — Nashville entrepreneur, community advocate, drag performer Vivica Steele, and radio host of The Queen's Table — for one of the most layered and honest conversations this show has ever had. Tavarus opens up about growing up carrying an identity hedidn't yet have the language to explain, surviving a criminal justice system that took away his right to vote over a $5.44 check, getting laid off from corporate America and turning that betrayal into a thriving business, and the moment he realized his drag persona, Vivica Steele, wasn't just a performance. She was saving his life. This conversation is about what it really looks like to carrygenerational trauma without letting it become your whole story. It's about LGBTQ+ identity, systemic injustice, radical self-acceptance, and the quiet everyday courage it takes to build a life on your own terms — even when the world around you keeps trying to write a smaller story for you. What you'll hear in this episode:How generational trauma shapes who you are before youeven understand itWhat it actually costs to lose your constitutional rights — and what it takes to reclaim themWhy Tavarus walked away from corporate America and started a his own businessHow drag became his pathway to self-love, purpose, and liberationWhat "breaking chains" really means when you're the first in your family to do itThe one thing Tavarus says every lost person needs to do first — before any book, podcast, or sermonIf you've ever felt like the story someone told about youwasn't yours to keep — this episode is for you.CHAPTERS:00:00 - Introduction to Tavarus Taylor01:35 - Understanding Identity and Trauma07:54 - Overcoming Adversity and Self-Discovery13:24 - Navigating the Criminal Justice System17:43 - Empowerment and Community Advocacy22:15 - Transitioning from Corporate to Entrepreneurship25:07 - The Turning Point: From Employment to Entrepreneurship27:43 - Embracing Identity: The Journey of Vivica Steele30:15 - Navigating Life's Challenges: The Importance of Self-Love35:21 - Creating Safe Spaces: The Queen's Table Initiative42:37 - Building Meaningful Relationships: Love and Support44:46 - Finding Your Path: The Power of Self-ReflectionCONNECT WITH TAVARUS:Business Website: tntcommercialservices615.comVivica Steele Website: vivicasteele.comVivica's Instagram: ⁠@vivicasteele615⁠The Queen's Table: acmeradiolive.com/the-queens-tableThe Queen's Table Instagram: @thequeenstable615Personal Instagram: ⁠@ttaylor608⁠CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don't forget to subscribe for more content about reclaiming your identity, finding your purpose, and steps for becoming your future self.

Episode 119: What happens when you spend years being told your body isn’t good enough — and you start to believe it?In this episode, Amanda Powers sits down with Dani Dyer —Nashville-based personal trainer, certified fitness coach, author, and host of the Love Your Body Podcast — for one of the most honest conversations about body image, identity, and self-worth you’ll hear this year. Dani has lived it all: body shaming in middle school, disordered eating patterns in college, becoming Nashville’s Strongest Woman, going viral on TikTok, suffering aserious spinal injury, developing an autoimmune disorder from years of extreme sport, and rebuilding her health from the ground up — again. And again. What makes Dani’s story so powerful isn’t the accolades. It’s the fact that even at her leanest, her strongest, her most decorated— she still had to fight to love herself. And that’s exactly what she wants you to hear. In this episode, you’ll hear:How Dani lost herself to other people’s opinions — and the moment she decided to stop listeningWhy even “perfect” bodies can hide the deepest self-hatredThe difference between body positivity and actually loving your body through movementHow negative self-talk rewires your brain — and the sticky note habit that helps reverse itWhat “Fight for What You Want” actually means when you don’t know what you want yetDani’s raw experience with timeline grief, letting go of due dates, and trusting the processPractical advice for anyone who looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize themselves anymoreWhether you’re struggling with your body image, your identity, or just feeling like you’ve lost your way — this episode is a reminder that the most powerful thing you can do is start right now. You don’t have to wait until you look different, weigh less, or have it all figured out. You just have to start fighting for yourself.Chapters00:00 - Dani’s Origin Story04:26 - College Fitness07:20 - The Vermont Turning Point15:23 - My Most Viral Moments 17:30 - My Identity Crisis23:53 - Misinformation in Fitness30:29 - Silencing the Inner Critic36:00 - Establishing a New Mindset 41:57 - Timeline Grief and The Arrival Fallacy 52:07 - What it really means to “Fight for What You Want” 57:05 - What to say to yourself when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourselfConnect with Dani Dyer:Website: www.danidfitness.comBook: How to Love Your Body ThroughoutPodcast: Love Your Body PodcastInstagram: @danidfitness1YouTube: @danidfitness1TikTok: @danidfitness1Connect with Amanda:Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity,healing, purpose, and becoming your future self.

Episode 118: If you’ve been feeling tired but wired, foggy, inflamed, or like your body is quietly waving a white flag—this episode is your permission slip to stop blaming yourself and start listening.This week, Amanda sits down with Dr. Shivani Gupta, Ayurvedicpractitioner, PhD researcher in turmeric and curcumin, and founder of Fusionary Formulas, for a conversation that bridges ancient Eastern wisdom with modern Western health struggles. Dr. Shivani has spent over 20 years helping people understand the root cause behind so much of what makes us feel lost in our own bodies: inflammation. But this isn’t just a health episode—it’s a self-discoveryconversation. Because when your body is chronically inflamed, your ability to think clearly, trust your intuition, make aligned decisions, and feel like yourself is compromised. And for any 30-something who has “done everything right” and still feels empty? That mind-body disconnect is often the missing link. What you’ll hear in this episode:What inflammation actually looks like in everyday life(spoiler: it’s not just joint pain)The Ayurvedic dosha system explained—and how to figureout your unique mind-body blueprintWhy brain fog, low energy, and burnout are signs of“inflamaging”—not aging Dr. Shivani’s concept of “mental inflammation” and howstress creates a physical feedback loopThe truth about turmeric and curcumin—hype vs.therapeutic realityThe simplest free tools to start reducing inflammationthis weekWhy getting healthy is the fastest path back to yourintuition and your purpose If you’ve ever Googled “why do I feel so off” or “how do I getmy energy back,” this one is for you. You’re not broken. You might just be out of balance—and Dr. Shivani is here to show you the way back.Chapters:00:00 - Why Aging Isn't The Only Culprit02:39 - How Ayurveda Transformed My Life06:28 - Signs of Chronic Inflammation12:55 - What Your Everyday Symptoms Say About Your Level of Inflammation15:42 - How to Identify Your Type in Ayurveda's Dosha System20:38 - How to Manage a Mixed Constitution Household23:20 - Managing Your Sleep, Gut, Diet and Rituals27:59 - Mindful Habits to Support Longevity and Vibrancy38:54 - The Truth About Tumeric and How to Maximize It47:36 - What Is Mental Inflammation?50:48 - Key Practices to Enhance Resilience55:49 - Start Your Inflammation Reduction Journey64:32 Advice on Finding Your Purpose & Improving Your Well-beingConnect with Dr. Gupta:Website: www.shivanigupta.com   Instagram: @dr.shivaniguptaFacebook: @theshivaniguptaLinkedIn: @shivaniguptaflPodcast: The Inflammation Code PodcastFREE 7-Day Inflammation Detox ChallengeFREE Anti-Inflammatory E-CookbookFusionary Formulas Supplements (code LOST15 for 15% off)Connect with Amanda:Don’t forget to subscribe for weekly content about identity,healing, purpose, and becoming your future self. Want to share your story or have question for an upcoming Wanderer Wisdom Episode?

Episode 115: If you’ve been feeling stuck, afraid to start over, or trapped in a “comfortable” life that’s quietly costing you your purpose… this episode is your wake-up call.Today I’m joined by Jill Schulman — U.S. Marine Corps veteran, leadership development expert, and “happiness scientist” with a Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology — to break down the real science of bravery and how to build it in everyday life. Jill shares her iconic “pink pumps to combat boots” origin story — including the moment someone told her on day one, “You’ll never make it,” and how she learned that bravery isn’t about heroic moments… it’s about showing up scared every day. In this conversation, Jill explains why so many of us get trapped in the comfort zone (and why it actually makes us more fragile), then gives a practical blueprint to build courage through:Brave Mindset (your inner dialogue + belief that you can do hard things)Brave Actions (taking a step before you feel ready)Brave Relationships (curating a “brave tribe” that won’t let you tap out)You’ll also hear Jill’s best tool for decision-making when you feel lost. If you’re in a career pivot, identity shift, breakup, burnout, or “what now?” season — this episode will help you choose courage over comfort.CONNECT WITH JILL:Jill shares her free bravery assessment + bravery blueprint at jillschulman.com and her book The Bravery Effect is available everywhere books are sold.

Episode 114: If you—or someone you love—has gone through therapy, rehab, or wilderness treatment organizations and still feel completely lost, this episode is for you. Life after treatment can feel brutally confusing: you’re back home, at risk of falling into old patterns, and everyone expects you to be “better,” but inside you still feel stuck, ashamed, or behind.In this conversation, I sit down with Colin MacDonald, co-founder of NOT Therapy, to unpack why life after treatment is so hard and what you can actually do about it—whether you’re the young adult trying to rebuild or the parent trying to help without making things worse. As a teenager, Colin cycled through psych wards, wilderness therapy in the Utah desert, and a therapeutic boarding school he once ran away from on foot. Later, he built a successful career in sports and tech—then walked away to create the support he wishes he had as a young adult: real-world structure, daily mentorship, and a community of people who actually get it.We discuss how NOT Therapy helps 16–29-year-olds move from feeling stuck to in-motion—often staying out of higher levels of care, finding work or school paths that fit, and rebuilding trust at home. If you’re a parent terrified your kid is “wasting their potential,” a 20-something living at home and feeling behind, or someone who’s been through treatment and still feels lost, you’ll walk away with concrete next steps—not just inspiring quotes.In this episode, you’ll learn:The 3 biggest gaps in traditional treatment & therapy—and why so many young people crash when they come homeA simple 30-day post-treatment blueprint for coming home without going backwardsThe difference between being emotionally fluent (“I know what I feel”) and emotionally functional (“I know what to do with my feelings”)The mindset shifts and conversations that help parents move from the director  of their child's life to a guideCONNECT WITH COLIN:Instagram - @coach_colinmacNot Therapy - @not.therapy.coachingWebsite - https://www.nottherapy.me/CONNECT WITH AMANDA:Don’t forget to share this show with a friend and subscribe for weekly conversations on identity, healing, purpose, andbecoming your future self.
